The first half of the year has already come and gone by, and as a part of our usual roundup of all things tech, we compile our 5 of the best-looking laptops that have been launched and are available locally.
Note: The list is arranged in no particular order.
Launched back in May, the ASUS ZenBook UX305 flaunts an ultra slim body with a 13.3-inch display. The top shell continues the design language seen from other high-end models and curves outward for an elegant finish. It’s got a good balance of typing space and navigation on its trackpad.
The device also weighs light at 1.2kgs — this makes it possible to easily bring the laptop anywhere you go. Together with its razor-thin profile, you can just close it, slide it inside your bag, and you’re all ready to go.

The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro literally bends over backwards just to be whatever it is you need it to be. You can work on it as a laptop, browse the Internet as a tablet, scribble using its Tent position, and watch videos on its stand. Its hinges were designed to be tough so they could withstand all the swivel.
In addition to its flexible usage, the device now has a thinner and lighter form factor that makes it the world’s thinnest convertible laptop.
Known to having a sleek body, the 2015 MacBook Pro continues the company’s legacy of giving its users a sophisticated and elegant form factor that screams to be brought in any occasion. The screen has the usual bezel that’s rather thick but makes the images pop out more due to its Retina display.

15-inch Retina display
2.2GHz Intel Core-i7 quad-core processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz)
16GB RAM

The XPS 13 is Dell’s lightest and thinnest 13-inch notebook yet, and it’s matched with top-notch material. The chassis is made with machined aluminum that makes it stand out. Taking care of its display is a Corning Gorilla Glass that spans from edge-to-edge.
Unlike the Macbook Pro’s obvious bezels, the XPS 13 boasts what they call a Virtually Borderless Infinity Display that eliminates the unneeded space for a more enjoyable viewing experience
